Extreme Imagination

two green comment cards, reading: 'This exhibition made me think about the interplay between art and science. Thank you for putting on this special viewing for mums and babies - really appreciated and great to do something different. signed: Emma'. And 'Amazing to realise that not everyone sees things the way I do or even imagines them. As a teacher of art and photography it is truly amazing'

 

two green comment cards reading: 'It is amazing in some ways it is different. These illusions pictures show us everything has a different wayto see. Every part of life. Signed: Carsu Cevik, dated: 13 april 2019'. and 'negative afterimages are amazing - the Amy Whitehouse negative trick freaked me out in the best way. Signed: Camilla, dated: May 2019'

 

two green comment cards reading: 'I really hadn't realised that other people can't see stuff. [edited for brevity] I guess i knew not everybody did that naturally, but I havent thought about whether some people intrinsically couldn't' and 'This exhibition made me think about how I think. the test showed that I was more hyperphantastic than not. Different than what I thought'

 

Two green comment cards reading: 'I've always wondered if you see what I see so this was interesting. not seen or heard about this concept before. Signed: S.F. age 46'. and '[a pencil drawing of a fox] it made me feel confused'
